What is the measurement from axle to axle? I can't tell much from the pics, but they are not the stock TVPs.

 

[edlarge]

where do i take the measurement form on the axle?

 

[Rolex]

Center of the front wheel to center on the rear. Front wheels straight.

the size is, 14.5 inches or 36cm

hope that helps
many thanks

I think you do, since mine is 15" and it's the extended and lowered TVPs from Fast Lane Machine.
You need to look for a brand, somewhere on the side plates.

You'll need MGT/LST, Savage XL size bodies....i would not worry too much about a roll cage. Those body mounts are for SUV style bodies. Pick up some standard body mounts if you don't have them. I beat the crap out of my Savages, no need for a roll cage IMO.
I do not know if they even make one for the Truckzilla chassis. Those look like Innovative RC chassis plates, that company is located in the U.K. Not 100% sure as the pics you linked are so small. IRC chassis is 1' rear, 6mm front extension.
i just found this on the link provided above.

Thanks guys, really useful,

reason for a roll cage, is that i bash on really rough ground and spend alot of time jumping and landing on stones and stuff, just dont want to damage the engine or anything.

When you say pick up some standard body mounts, what do you mean? which mounts are you talking about?

Many thanks

The ones that are flatter that come installed on the trucks stock. If you use a cage, you'll need to stick with the ones you have.

You need to download or buy a Savage 21 and a Savage X manual for future use. The manual is your best friend. It is very helpful.
